How do Sunni Muslims refute the Ahmadi argument on the death of Jesus (as) because of the need to eat food?

I am an Ahmadi Muslim and I have a hard time understanding why Sunni Muslims believe Jesus (as) to be alive when in my research I have found that Quran and Ahadith make it clear that he is dead. I find the proofs presented by the Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) to be very powerful and I cannot refute them to the best of my ability.
One of 23 Arguments I found is the following:
> "The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a Messenger; surely, Messengers like unto him had indeed passed away before him. And his mother was a truthful woman. **They both used to eat food.** See how We explain the Signs for their good, and see how they are turned away." (5:75).
And one cannot say that Jesus (as) does not require food. Because the Quran clearly says that every prophet does:
> "And We did not give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they to live for ever." (21:8)
> "And We never sent any Messengers before thee but surely they ate food and walked in the streets. And We make some of you a trial for others. Will you then be steadfast? And thy Lord is All-Seeing." (25:20)
Jesus is not special, and he must be eating food. So, while he awaits his descent in the heavens, he must be eating food. So there is a kitchen for him in the heavens that he eats from. And there is a bathroom that he goes to relieve himself. But last time I heard there are no bathrooms or kitchens in heaven.
I would like to know how do Sunni Muslims counter this argument?
